Eileen and I don’t get the chance to relax very often, because I’m always on the go with the Chamber and she has a busy job with GE. Plus our son Jonathan, while a rather self-sufficient teenager, still needs one of us around most of the time. This makes it hard to arrange a “date night.” But thanks to Saratoga County Restaurant Week we got the perfect opportunity.

Angelo Mazzone is such a great guy, a fine restauranteur and a true gentleman to boot (by the way his son Matt is pretty cool too!). We got a chance to chat with him for a few minutes before he headed off to greet the other patrons and make his evening rounds among his many restaurants. Here’s a photo:

I’m sure the same fun and excitement took place at 39 other restaurants throughout Saratoga County as Restaurant Week got started. My only regret is we can’t get to each one! Oh well… If you want to go just visit The Jockey’s website for more info on participating restaurants, or read my blog post from the other night. I hope you all get a chance to enjoy the $20.13 specials at each of 40 Saratoga County restaurants this week (until 3/24)! See you next time….
